The Future of School Choice in Alabama Starts Now

May 28, 2026

Our Director of Implementation and Operations, Tonya Jones recently joined Homeschool Yo Kids to break down the differences between the Alabama Accountability Act and the CHOOSE Act — and how these programs impact homeschool and private school families across the state.


From homeschool families accessing up to $2,000 per student to expanding scholarship opportunities for private school students, Alabama’s education landscape is changing quickly.


The conversation also tackles common myths about tax credits and school funding, because parents deserve facts, not confusion.

As Alabama moves toward a universal school choice model by 2027, one thing is clear: parent knowledge matters more than ever.


Thank you to Homeschool Yo Kids for creating space for these important conversations and helping families stay informed about their educational options in Alabama.

Where Faith and Academic Excellence Meet in Auburn, Alabama

May 19, 2026
There’s a lingering misconception that private or Catholic schools aren’t equipped to serve students with disabilities. In Auburn, Alabama, one Catholic school is quietly proving otherwise. As an AOSF partner school and the only Catholic school within a 50-mile radius, St. Michaels Catholic School is offering families something increasingly rare: strong academics, intentional faith formation, and a learning environment that welcomes students with a range of learning needs, including dyslexia, hearing impairments, and vision challenges.  And they’re not just “making it work.” They’re building a model designed for it.
